I have always loved crochet covered stones and decided to give one a go (cause as you know, everyone needs a crochet covered stone or two sitting about their home).
This free pattern was perfect - easy to follow and great having the photos of the process to help.
I used light pink cotton, and am already onto my second one... I can see Symon having a grizzle about them soon!! Hmmmm, maybe I should make him a bunch of these for his Christmas present?
The perfect sweater for your pet rock...

Looks great. Haven wanted to try one of them too. Cx
ReplyDeleteThese look absolutely delightful, rather than try myself, I may take this around to Mum and get her to make one for me!! Cop out, I think so!

ReplyDeleteI love these. I've been wanting to do them for ages, but seeing as I can basically only crochet in straight lines, I haven't mastered it yet. I might look at your pattern though, you never know...

Pretty awe inspiring huh?
Ps: the rocks are cute, I can imagine a lil cluster of them all cozy in their crochet jerseys :P
It's gorgeous hon. I know my husband will think I've lost the plot when I make one!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I'm thinking maybe I can con my kids into thinking they are cool enough to keep instead of a real pet once we move!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And I think you should crochet a bunch to put in your hubby's car for another crochet suprise!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! Perhaps a crocheted raincoat for your pet rock to go out in wet weather??
ReplyDeleteha ha ha.... I can imagine the delight on his face discovering a stocking full of rocks on Christmas morning!

ReplyDeleteI remember when pet rocks were all the rage but they never had such pretty sweaters to wear. I've thought about giving this go and am inspired once again to try. Yours turned out great. Best wishes, Tammy
